Takahashi Minami to be the center of AKB48's 42nd singleOctober 27, 2015

On October 25, AKB48 held a handshake event at Pacifico Yokohama, where they announced that Takahashi Minami would be the center for their 42nd single (currently untitled).

The upcoming single will be released on December 9, which is the day after the group's 10th anniversary. It will also be Takahashi's last single before her graduation. The last time she served as center independently for the group's single was about 10 years ago in their indies song "Sakura no Hanabiratachi" (released February 2006). This is her first time as center after the group's major debut in October of 2006.

When it was announced that she would be the center, fans at the venue shouted "Congratulations!" Takahashi, who was moved to tears, stated, "I will be the center for my last single. It's my first solo center since our indies song 'Sakura no Hanabiratachi'." She continued, "I am very happy to be singing an idol song at the very end. It's not a message song from me, so I want many members to continue singing it after I graduate. It would also make me happy if it becomes a song that fans love!"

Regarding her solo debut single, she commented, "When I heard the exact date of my solo debut, I thought once again about how crazy it's going to be. Anyway, I will do my best, so please buy the CD!"

Aloha all. Surprised this beautiful song hasn't gotten any pub in the threads. Sayanee centers the song that serves as the theme for NHK's Asadora "Asa Ga Kita". Cuz of my wife, I'm forced to watch asadora 6nts/wk. At least now I can love it for a few months.
